This book explores the greatest building project in recent Scottish history - the new Scottish Parliament. Conceived by Enric Miralles of Barcelona the building has already caused much controversy with the rich complexity of its design. It echoes not only upturned boats and a spray of green leaves connected by twigs but, when viewed from above a shimmering shoal of fish.
Despite delays, the Scottish Parliament has emerged a triumphant monument to its creator, Miralles, and to its champion, Donald Dewar, neither of whom lived to see their project come to fruition. An undeniable landmark with some of the strangest and most beautifully wrought public interiors in Britain, it also features complex timber roofs, saltires in concrete, intricately crafted inglenooks, light-flooded foyers and a vesica-shaped debating chamber. Opposed to the usual confrontational assembly layout, its shallow curves encourage intelligent debate and consensus.
Written by the historian and designer Charles Jencks, winner of the Gulbenkian Prize for Museums, 2004, this is a fascinating account, with superb photography of a new construction in Scottish identity.
